Thanks for the comments! I am working on photos of people in action. That is why I thought of the blurred effect. I am going to see if I can catch people around DC performing different things.
You should! I am already curious to see your pictures. They are always so good! (And I like to recognise places ... you know, I have only been - and for the first time ever - to DC this year in April).
I like these shots and you've got a great background. Feel free to call me uncreative, but I prefer to see some faces in photographs. Perhaps if you had a rear-curtain flash, then you could get the motion and some faces.
